Celebrating a Legacy of Trust
In 1975, nine physicians formed CAP to address skyrocketing medical malpractice coverage costs. Today, CAP serves 13,000 California physicians with exceptional, affordable coverage and is proud to celebrate a 50-year legacy of stability and trust.
- A discussion with CAP’s leaders about the company’s success and future
- The CAP story and why it matters to California physicians
- Two popular “Case of the Month” columns from the archives
- And much more!

CAP sat down with Stewart Shanfield, MD, Chair and President of the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP), and Chair of the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT), and Sarah Scher, JD, CAP CEO, to discuss their vision for the future and what the company’s success over the past 50 years means for California’s physicians.


To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Cooperative of American Physicians, CAP is offering members the opportunity to request free commemorative gifts, such as a clear stadium tote bag, travel blanket, USB-C charging cable, and several animal toy figurines.
